Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what representations they have made to the government of Bahrain concerning of reports that Naji Fateel, who is currently imprisoned in Bahrain, has been subjected to medical negligence at Jau Prison.

The UK draws on a wide range of sources when assessing human rights issues in Bahrain and regularly raises individual cases with the Government of Bahrain at senior levels. We encourage those with issues to raise them directly with the appropriate Bahraini independent oversight body. The Minister of State for the Middle East, Lord (Tariq) Ahmad of Wimbledon, discussed a range of human rights issues during his visit to Bahrain on 12 February.
